Bridging courses will no longer be accepted to fulfill the above requirements.
Previous Requirement:
Earlier, candidates needed a minimum of C+ as the overall mean grade and C+ in the teaching subjects only.
Requirements for a Diploma in Secondary Teacher Education (DSTE)
Minimum Grades:
- D+ in Mathematics.
- C in English.
- C+ as the overall mean grade in KCSE.
Advisory for Aspiring Teachers
Prospective students are cautioned against enrolling in education courses without meeting these qualifications, as they will not qualify for a TSC registration number upon graduation.
Some universities may still admit students who fail to meet the new criteria, either out of negligence or oversight.
Such graduates risk significant challenges in acquiring their TSC numbers, effectively barring them from practicing as teachers.
Guidance for Graduates Without TSC Numbers
Graduates who completed their degrees or diplomas under the previous requirements but have not yet applied for a TSC number are advised to act promptly.
Delays in the application process may lead to complications due to the recent changes in qualification standards.
